The last ancient wonder still standing
Four and a half thousand years old. The only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing, and for four millennia the tallest building on earth. There is nothing else like the moment it first appears above the edge of the plateau.
Flat · Sand, asphalt
A loop on the Giza plateau, starting in the first light and finishing before the heat arrives — sand, hard-packed track and asphalt, with the three pyramids in view for almost the entire distance. Flat and fast, and probably the fastest of the seven.
Day 3
Inside the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx, and the Solar Boat. The hotel is at the foot of the plateau, so you walk from the finish line to your own shower and the visit begins whenever you are ready.
Sixty people will see the seven wonders this way.
